New Electrical Code Requirements for EV Chargers in Collin County TX (2020 NEC Update) If you’re installing an EV home charging station in McKinney, TX or the surrounding North Texas area, it’s important to understand the latest code updates. The 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) introduced several new safety regulations specifically for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). One of the most significant changes is the mandatory inclusion of GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection on the branch circuit that supplies power to the EV charger. This code update applies regardless of whether you’re using a Level 1 or Level 2 charger, and it is enforced in many local jurisdictions throughout Collin County and greater North Texas. Homeowners must ensure that their installation meets these standards to pass final inspection and avoid safety hazards.
